Default LS6 intake install, can i block off all coolant ports? What about EGR? PN#?

Im gonna try to install my ls6 intake this weekend. I want to bypass the t/b. Can i just run 4 plus(2 in front and 2 in rear), then plug radiator nipple? Or maybe run 2 plugs in rear and run front hose to radiator nipple bypassing t/b?

Are the plugs pn# 12563325 or 12562788?

How do i block off the EGR on the exhaust manifold for temporary until i get headers should i just make some cheap plates out of thin steel and use copper gasket sealant?

I used the Z06 plugs in the rear and ran the front to my radiator fitting, haven't had any problems yet in over 1,000 miles....runs strong and cool. I made a couple of blockoff plates from .125" plate.
